The most embarrassing moment of the gala was experienced when the award-winning stars thanked the notorious former organizer. American newspapers called the gala a “complete” and “almost complete disaster”.
“thank you Hollywood Foreign Press Association! Thank you HFPA!”
The most embarrassing moments of the film industry's Golden Globe gala were experienced on the night between Sunday and Monday, when at least three winners accidentally thanked the notorious organization that handed out the Golden Globe awards until last year.
Vulture mentions among them American Actors by Da'Vine Joy Randolph and Ayo Edebirin mixed Oppenheimer– by the award-winning Swedish composer for the film's music by Ludwig Göransson.
That's humane, but the organizers must have gritted their teeth.
The new organization would have wanted to make it as clear as possible that the current Golden Globes will no longer be awarded this year by the defunct Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
The Golden Globe the rottenness of history has often been discussed in this magazine as well, from last week until 2015.
For decades, the system was such that a closed organization of Hollywood's foreign journalists – including many entertainment journalists – selected the nominees and the awardees.
The memberships were for life and you couldn't join unless you got the support of the majority of the membership. When HS interviewed them During the HFPA's visit to Finland in 2016, there were 90-year-old members of the Raati who had partially lost their sight.
The organization was quite wealthy due to the money brought in by the TV rights of the gala, but it was also easy to try to corrupt less than a hundred influencers.
of the Los Angeles Times extensive investigation in 2021 reported that Paramount Network flew more than 30 of them to Paris in 2019 to follow Emily in Paris -series filming and to spend the night in a five-star hotel.
The investigation also revealed that the organization did not have any black members, which was believed to have influenced the awarding process for decades.
To top it all off, the long-time chairman of the organization had time to say that the anti-racist Black Lives Matter movement is itself racist before he was dismissed from the organization.
HFPA President Meher Tatna spoke about the upcoming 75th Golden Globe Awards in November 2017.

therefore, the 2022 award ceremony was not televised, several stars boycotted it and for example Tom Cruise brought back three Golden Globes.
The organization made structural reforms and increased its membership, taking ethnic minorities into account as well. After this, NBC agreed to televise the gala again in January 2023, but many stars were still conspicuous by their absence.
In June, it was reported that the HFPA sold the rights to the gala to the media company Dick Clark Productions and the investment company Eldridge, split the money and “dissolved itself”.
But at the same time, 95 members of the organization at the time were hired as employees of a new, for-profit company that decides the Golden Globe Awards!
Principal owner, billionaire Todd Boehly explained For the Los Angeles Timesthat he wanted to transform a non-profit organization that was responsible for its actions only to itself, into a for-profit organization whose employees have obligations under the collective agreement.
The charity activities of the old organization – there was that too – were organized to continue as a separate unit.
The number of people voting on the awards was increased to around three hundred and the composition of the jury is public. Long-time members of the Raati can vote in Finland Kirpi Uimonen and elected to the council in the second year Anu Räsänen.
All of these improvements may have helped in some way as well Aki Kaurismäki Dead leaves -film and Alma Pöystin nominations that received media attention not only in Finland but also quite well also in the United States.
Are they enough? changes?
In the first reactions after the new gala Slate publication estimated that the gala was perhaps a little more honorable, but at the same time more boring. One Slate headline even read “Golden Globes 2024: The Worst Possible Disaster.”
Vanity Fair was more gracious: the gala was just “almost a total disaster“.
The presenter was generally criticized Jo Koyn jokes, as well as the silly new “The Cinematic and Box Office Achievement Globe” award, which honors the “best” hit movie that grossed more than $150 million.
The host of the gala, Jo Koy, has received criticism.
But The New York Times also noted that the gala was the first since a widespread actors' and writers' strike. At the same time, more and more studios and stars ended their boycott and returned to the red carpet to improve their visibility before the Oscar decisions.
Therefore, the Golden Globe awards given by a panel of entertainment journalists still have their entertainment value.
